An intraluminal device implantable in a body lumen having an atheroma therein in the vicinity of a side-branch vessel includes a mesh-like tube of bio-compatible material formed with liquid-permeable window openings. The mesh-like tube has an expanded condition in which the tube diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the body lumen in which it is to be implanted, and the tube length is sufficient to cover the atheroma and the side-branch orifice, and to be anchored to the body lumen around the periphery of the atheroma, and a contracted condition wherein it is sufficiently flexible so as to be easily manipulatable through the body lumen to the site of the atheroma. The mesh-like tube, in its expanded condition, has window openings of a size and distribution such as to structurally stabilize the atheroma and to keep embolic material originating from the atheroma in place on the wall of the body lumen, while diverting embolic material of predetermined size present in the blood flowing through the mesh-like tube from the side-branch orifice, without substantially impeding the blood flow, or increasing the thrombogenitic properties, of the blood flowing into the side-branch orifice.

Screenshots on a computer display are automatically captured to assist in building a tutorial to demonstrate the functionality of one or more applications. In one possible approach, an event detector, such as an accessibility toolkit, detects when events are generated by the one or more applications. The events may include, e.g., button clicks, windows opening or closing, drag and drop events, check boxes being checked, menus being pulled down or menu items selected, and so forth. Or, a program may monitor pixel changes on the screen to detect when changes occur in the images generated by the one or more applications. A tutorial builder application automatically captures an image when the event or image change is detected, edits the captured image such as by providing a focus on the changed portion, and provides the edited image in a tutorial window. Related text can also be automatically generated.

An epitaxial deposition process produces epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) of nitride based materials directly a patterned substrate (10). The substrate (10) is preferably formed from SiC or sapphire, and is patterned with a mask (12), preferably formed of silicon nitride, having a plurality of openings (13) formed therein. A nucleation layer (14), preferably formed of AlGaN, is grown at a high reactor temperature of 700-1100 degrees C., which wets the exposed substrate surface, without significant nucleation on the mask (12). This eliminates the need for regrowth while producing smooth growth surfaces in the window openings (13) as well as over the mask (12). Subsequent deposition of a nitride based material layer (16), preferably GaN, results in a relatively defect free planar surfaced material grown laterally over the mask (12).
